Just got bit by this bug too, so its still there. Quest was Suspicious Activity, part of the order of whispers chain, but probably the same equivalent as your quest (level 48 i think it was.)
The necromancer forum is displaying and linking to the german necro forum from the english site. The german necro forum is correctly linked from the german main site.
Happens randomly, in every cutscene, the npc audio/animation for speaking just doesnt play, though the subtitles will come up and the pause will be appropriate as if for speaking the lines.
Reported in game but here you go, it’s simply not isolated to one character or quest.
Suggestion, a seperate volume level or even a mute option for pet noises / sounds. I play a necro mainly and the low throbbing hum of one of the pets really gets irritating after a very short while. The others arent bad, but you cant turn them down without losing out on a lot more important sounds.
Also, some kind of visual indicator for when your pets are in combat with something would be handy (yes, thank you mr. flesh golem for running 100m away and aggroing something for me….) Your weapons being out doesnt always mean that, as it takes time for them to sheathe automatically.
